One of the frustrating things about being a blogger is coming across a no-name foreign hottie like Adriana Ayala here and not being able to find out anything about her, because I don’t speak the language. It makes it impossible to do the kind of hard-hitting research that I know you guys have come to expect from this site. I mean, how else are you supposed to know what Adriana’s hobbies are, or what she’s looking for in a future ex-husband? Instead, I guess you’re just going to have to make do with drooling over pictures of her in a bikini. Somehow, I think you’ll manage. Enjoy. » view all 15 photos
‘I’d hope for them to live happily ever after, but it’s ‘Game of Thrones,’ right?’ Richard Madden says of Robb Stark’s romantic interest, Talisa. By Kara Warner Richard Madden in “Game of Thrones” Photo: HBO Another week, another gripping, wholly enjoyable episode of HBO’s hit “Game of Thrones.” Forgetting for a moment the frustrating continued existence of one Joffrey Baratheon and all the rather gruesome scenes in Sunday’s episode entitled “Garden of Bones,” let’s take a moment to appreciate one easy-to-watch scene: the meet-cute between would-be King Robb Stark and feisty nurse Talisa (Oona Chaplin). In the midst of all the blood, battles and complicated politics, might there be room for a real romance between two characters? MTV News was lucky enough to sit down with Robb Stark himself, Richard Madden, to get the scoop on this intriguing new story line. “Robb’s in a place where it’s the first time he’s met a woman, it’s the first time he’s had his head turned. It’s the first time he’s been in this position as this boy-King and the first time someone doesn’t bow down to him, doesn’t treat him like a King, doesn’t cater to all that,” Madden explained of his character’s interest in Talisa. “She asks him real questions, she challenges everything and makes him ask questions of himself, he’s kind of blown away by that, this kind of light in the darkness. He’s surrounded by all these men and by all this violence and hate and blood, and he’s got this woman there who kind of looks him in the eye and talks to him in a way he’s not used to and he can’t help but be intrigued by that. I think in the beginning he doesn’t even know his head’s been turned until we’re right into it.” So now we know there will at least be major head-turning, but no telling how long that will last in the twisted and dangerous world of “Thrones.” When asked for his thoughts on Robb and Talisa’s future as a couple, the Scot wasn’t at liberty to divulge gritty details, but did mention a hope for happily ever after, however unlikely that may be. “I’d hope for them to live happily ever after, but it’s ‘Game of Thrones,’ right? That doesn’t really happen often with anyone,” Madden said with a smile. “We’re going to see a lot of changes with Robb’s character this year and this woman is the first big influence that takes him away from following his head, usually his heart and his head are on the same page when it comes to decision-making and this woman takes him in a different direction and influences over the decisions that he makes and sets things on a different course with his mother as well that’s a huge kind of fracture between them,” he continued. “So I’m keen to see how that plays out on screen.” Do you think “Game of Thrones” is going to get romantic?

Again with this “teaser for a trailer” business. If you cannot wait until Sunday to get a glimpse of the actual trailer for Len Wiseman’s Total Recall remake, here are thirty seconds of Colin Farrell driving flying cars and jumping off of balconies and Kate Beckinsale looking hot. I’m still holding out for evidence that Wiseman kept the three-boobed lady in his version, which will determine if this rehash of the 1990 sci-fi gem gets my ticket dollars or not. I mean, at least the ridiculously short 15-second Breaking Dawn Part 2 teaser trailer teaser had pecs and hands and Edward Cullen and stuff. Show me the alien boobs, Wiseman! The full trailer will air on ABC on Sunday during the first half of the Celtics-Heat game before an extended version debuts online at Apple. The official synopsis for Total Recall — “inspired anew” by Philip K. Dick’s source short story: Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) whom he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) working for the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy). The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate. The film is directed by Len Wiseman. The screenplay is by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback and the screen story is by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon and Jon Povill. The producers are Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe. [via Collider ] Total Recall hits theaters August 3.
